CAMP, which premieres at the Arena Grand theater at 7 p.m. Friday, tells the story about a financial adviser who volunteers at a camp to impress a client, but finds unexpected challenges when he's paired with a troubled 10-year-old camper.

The film is based on the work of Royal Family KIDS, a "network of camps, children's clubs, and child mentoring for abused children in the foster care system."

"The film offers a window into the heart of Royal Family KIDS Camp" said Stephen Fox, the director of Franklin County's camp. "We help create positive memories and caring relationships for children affected by abuse."

CAMP producer Emily Shubin said 40 percent of the revenue from all Arena Grand showings will go to the Royal Family KIDS of Franklin County. Ten percent goes to the national Royal Family KIDS program.
